The Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia books (12 volumes in all) and the Huxford Genealogical Society Quarterly Magazine (35 volumes, 140 issues) contain over 5,500 original genealogical sketches, plus thousands more sketches providing additions and corrections to the original sketches.  All of these sketches concern the pioneers (and their families) of the southeastern Georgia and the northern Florida region; i.e., the very first and the early settlers of this region and their descendants. 

New Huxford Society books will be entitled "Pioneers of the Wiregrass" and will cover a larger region than the original series of books; i.e., all of the Wiregrass Region of southern Georgia, southern Alabama and northern Florida.

If you have ancestors from the Wiregrass Region, you should consider developing a biographical sketch to be published by the Huxford Society. The table below is a partial  LIST  of  the  SKETCHES  NEEDED to compliment the sketches already published.

Log of A & C's in process

The Huxford Genealogical Society (HGS) would be very pleased to receive your submittal of a genealogical sketch concerning a pioneer from the Wiregrass area of south Georgia or north Florida or for a descendant of a Wiregrass Georgia pioneer.

Ancestral sketches are published initially in the HGS quarterly magazine for review by the membership.  After a period of time allowed for the submission of additions and corrections to the sketch published in the quarterly magazine, your sketch will be placed in a future "Pioneers of Wiregrass" book publication.

Please submit sketches for an upcoming HGS quarterly magazine in the proposed format (as closely as possible).  Sketches not submitted in this format may have to be returned to the submitter for further editing.

The following cutoff dates apply for the birth date of the ancestor who is the subject of a submitted sketch:

Pioneers of the Wiregrass  -  before 1880

Descendants of Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia  -  between 1880 to 1900
